Sharps Disposal Units

Safe Sharps Disposal
Sharps include finger prickers or blood glucose lancets, syringes, pen needles and needles used to insert pump tubing. Your used sharps must be disposed of in a strong puncture proof container, or a strong plastic container or bottle, which has a secure lid.

Diabetes NSW & ACT and Diabetes Tasmania are committed to keeping sharps out of our waste and recycling streams and is pleased to support the Community Sharps Management Program. This program provides safe and accessible disposal options for local communities. To find out more about safe sharps disposal, click here.
